Answer 1

There are many meanings and uses of hasta but here's just a couple:

Hasta + que + a verb in the subjunctive mood is probably one of the most common ways that you will see hasta being used and in these cases the que is neccesary:

Espera hasta que pare de llover. Wait until it stops raining.

Hasta by itself can mean even:

Hasta te diría que … I'd even say that … (or I'd even go so far as to say that...)

without the que it can also mean up to - hasta el final, up to the end

Answer 2
